CRAIG KOHLRUSS/THE FRESNO BEE
Advantage Peguero. His impressive spring is carrying over into the season, which is good news. He could have sulked and brooded about not making the big club after turning some heads, but he didn't. If he projects as a future LF and Brown ends up as a future CF, the power of the future Giants will have to come from elsewhere as neither projects as a big-time HR hitter. Peguero's problem is he is blocked by both Blanco and Torres and he is a very similar type player to both of them.
from the Fresno Bee:
Fresno Grizzlies outfielder Francisco Peguero's production is big-league worthy - Fresno Grizzlies - fresnobee.com:
In his second go-around in Triple-A, Peguero is armed with more experience on how to handle the better pitchers in the league. Also improved are his ability to handle the inside pitch and his overall strike-zone awareness, Mariano and Peguero agreed.
"The main thing I've changed since spring training is being on time with the inside pitch and pulling the ball," Peguero said in Spanish, using Grizzlies third baseman Juan Perez as a translator. "I have a better mental approach, more competitiveness and more aggressiveness."
Brown, on the other hand, has struggled mightily in his first Triple-A season.
Rated the fourth-best prospects in the Giants organization by Baseball America, Brown is hitting .173 with one homer and eight RBIs. He has struck out 23 times in 104 at-bats.
